The war in Vietnam had a deep impact on the United States. The war cost the US over $170 billion in direct costs and a lot more in indirect economic expenses. It also resulted in the deaths of about 58,000 young Americans and injured more than 300,000. The casualties in Vietnam were around one million North and South Vietnamese soldiers. The war also messed up the minds of the surviving soldiers. The war was pretty bad that some people now favor isolationism.
